Hardwired my V1 !!!

[blackgto06]

Even though it's hard to see from the outside, I still take mine out of the mount and tuck the chord up and away. I don't even take my V1 out of the car with me, I just lock it in the glove box. I suggest you do the same thing. It takes 2 seconds and it eliminates the chance of getting stolen.

I am concern that plugging it in and out my f***ed the connection.

It shouldn't mess with the connection. I plug it in and unplug it every day and there is no problem with mine.

it just seems to me that would be too much wear and tear.

The electrical connection won't suffer, but if you use the stock hardwire cord the little tang is weak. It slowly loses its spring and eventually falls off. You'll be crimping an new RJ-14 plug on there eventually, so be sure to leave yourself some slack.

No problem mate, was a bit bored and had nothing else clever to post so...

Yea, supposedly it very important and forRDs(not only LJ) to be levelled! I think I read it somewhere around here(post by SS).
I am still concerned that I may have loses in sensitivity since V1 is not right on windshield even though it is so close. It hard to tell even when I test it in front of doors!

I am not, however, a fan of visor mounting ------> http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...tml#post647870
